Bombs in space. Awesome. I remember my brother telling me about this in high school and I couldn’t believe it. I completely forgot about it until I saw this video.
They did all the cool stuff in the 60′s. We peaked as a society in 1962.

Read more about this and listen to an awesome 6 minute radio clip that goes way more in depth over at NPR.

American Poor, Global Rich

A friend forwarded this website to me today. It’s the Global Rich List. You type in what your yearly income is and it spits back what number you are on the world’s rich list. Pretty sweet.

So as you can see I put in my yearly salary of $1 milli and bam there I am in the top .0001%. Is that like good or something? But seriously punch in some numbers and I think you will be surprised at where even 10 or 15k is on the list. They also have some super fun heart warming stats like…

“The world’s 225 richest people now have a combined wealth of $1 trillion. That’s equal to the combined annual income of the world’s 2.5 billion poorest people”

Makes ya think…

Turn The Other Cheek

Some no goodnicks have taken their war with Jesus to his face. One of the 7 modern wonders of the world, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, was recently spray painted with graffiti.

When I first read the headline I thought how did they even get access to Jesus’ face and chest it’s a HUGE statue, 131 ft. tall. Well luckily the government did most of the work for them. The statue is getting some work done and there was scaffolding all over it as seen in the pic. There were murder victims names and other gems on there like “When the cat’s away, the rats will play”. Check the whole story HERE.

Rio 2016

An interesting look at the home of the 2016 Olympics, Rio de Janeiro. As soon as they were awarded the games you had to know that some of these type of crackdowns in the favelas were coming. Some mind boggling stats are thrown around in this documentary though.

Happy Birthday MLK. If yeain’t know please go brush up on Martin this weekend and understand why you have next monday off. Don’t forget McCain was against the federal holiday before he was for it, ironic?

Pay Attention

Check out this cool article from the daily beast about the Emanuel brothers. If you haven’t heard this last name you are surely living under a rock.

I have seen Rahm on Charlie Rose a couple times in the last year. Mad smart. Would love to hear what he has to say about new name nickname floating about, the Jewish Kennedy’s. Which ones JFK, RFK and Teddy?

That’s A Weird Ornament Grandma

This is probably the best time of year/excuse to smuggle bongs into the country. The Feds busted an importer at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex with 316,000 bongs that were reportedly “glass figures and Christmas ornaments”. I bet this person has been doing this for the last 15 years and this is the first time they got caught. Some see religious holidays while others see another way to sneak in drug paraphernalia.

Officer Schwab, 2099

I love that skateboarders will call a cop a dick right to his face and then film the whole thing. Brilliant. This all went down up in the bay area. I think this could have all been solved with a simple “Get Out Of Here Guys” but I guess when you got a slow day you might as well break some balls, right SFPD?

Who Said Pennies Are Irrelevant?

The gf came over tonight and showed this to me. I didn’t get the memo that there were new designs on the penny!? Hey Barack CC me on the next round of decisions, thanks in advance. So apparently there are 4 new designs showcasing major pieces of Lincoln’s life. This one is Lincoln in front of the state capitol in beautiful Illinois. Look for these in a pocket near you…

Time Lapse Fiyah

Just got sent this link. Time lapse of the La Canada fire in Los Angeles. When I look north in the morning I just see a huge plume of smoke not moving, crazy to see it alive in this time lapse movie.

[thanks brads]
